This is the ingenious plan of an expert
in banking for the avoidance Of the imam

all. To rid the Treasury OF the sur

to deal with the /symPtOms
without reaching the disease itself. Mr.
KNox's plan woald dispose of the revenue
from excessive taxation while the burien

but Just tosay, however, that Mr.. KNOX
seems to recognize this fact, and offers his
scheme as last resortA He premises that
Congress will do nothing toward reduc'

and gives his opinion that "the most that
can be expected is that some bill may be
matured after protracted discussion in the

effect and produce this result some time IN
the year 1890" This is condition OF

MIR. KNOWS PLAN.

In his recent address at the meeting Of
the American Bankers Association, at
Pittsburg, Hon. JOHN JAY KNOX, former
" comptroller of the currency, and now
president Of the Bank Of the Republic, in
New York, presented a scheme for the re-
duction of the Treasury surplus which, so
far ~ bare relief of the Treasury goes, would
undoubtedly be effective.
This plan is essentially the same as that
which Mr.. KNOX, in his report as comp
troller in 1ss2, recommended for the re-
funding of United States loans, and has
since been embodied in bills introduced in
the last Congress by Representative HEw-
TIT of New York aud Senator ALDRICH Of
Rhode Island. The latter was pending in
the Senate at the time of its adjournment,
and will take its place on the calendar at
the assembling Of Congress in December.
Mr.. HEwITT's bill, which failed with the
expiration of the term OF the last Congress,
provided
That out Of any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, the Secretary Of
the Treasury is hereby authorized and en-
powered to anticipate the payment Of so
much of the interest on the interest bear
ing bonds of the United States rs shall be
IN excess of the rate Of 3 per cent. per an
mum by the payment in gross Of such sums
IN each case as shall be equal 10 tbs sggre-
gate Of the present worth of such excess Of
interest thereon. And for the purpose of
aScsrtaining such present worth, the
interest upon the amount paid Ey the
United States il anticipation Of such ex-
cess OF interest shall be computed at the
rate Of3 per cent. per SnGum, reinyested
quarterly, so IS to secure to the United
States the benefit OF computed interest
thereon.
Mr.. KNOX proposes to issue the new
bonds at yet lower rate Of interest, q per
cent; when the plan, in plain Ia: guage,
would be for the Government to offer hold
ers OF 4 per cent bonds 10 exchange them
for sn equal amount of % per cent. bonds,
with S23 bonus in cash for every 800 face
value.
Il is thought that this exchange would
be favored by hondhOlders for the reason
that the new bonds would be sought by
banks, insurance companies aud other cor
pOratiOns Who are required TO deposit gov.
ernments as security, and because the cash
premium could be invested at . more sd.
vantagsous rate 1t would. also be profit
able to the government, which would save
$3.50 on each S10O bond, or, in Mr.. KNOX S
words, it would release its surplus in
payment of interest now al fair rate Of
interest upon the interest advanced, which

THE REGISTER has been asked to define
its position on the tariff" This has been
done so frequently and at such length that
a repetition at this late day would seem
needless. But, in brief, the REGISTERS
position on the tariff is that Of the National
Democratic Platform. On the clear cut
tariff plank OF that admirable platform the
REGISTER stands ''ilat-tOoted There is
no double meaning about it. II is in the
interest OF the people as the Democratic
party is the pa BY of the people-the people
in the workshop as well as in the field. 1t
demands, briefly, reduction Of taxation
and an equalization Of the tariff in such q
way that the burden will bear Gghtest on
the poor man, be he found in the workshop
or ia the field. This can be done if Republi-
can demagOgucs on the one hand and im'
practical theorists On the other will allow
the great body OF practical Democratic
statesmen in Congress fail field.

Mrs. Langtry's Fascinating Pow.

Miss Glider, one OF the brightest
writer's OF the day, in her New York
letter to the Boston Gazette makes
the best explanation yet published oil
Lily Langtry's fascinating power. II
displays clever woman's insight into
human nature, especially female hui
man nature:
II there was ever woman who has
caught the eye OF the multitude that
woman is Mrs. Langtry. She is NO
actress, and all that impulsive and
gallant writer's for the press may say
to the contrary will not proveit. The
secret OF her success may be easily
summed up-she attracts the women
she attracts the men, too; but she
ows her SUCCESS to the women. Who
makes the fortunes OF every com.
FOUNDER OF beautifers for the toilet
Women, OF course. Men don't use
"Bloom OF Youth" and "Recamier
Cream" but the women do. They all
want to be beautiful, and they all
want to sec a woman who has been
placed at the head OF living
beauties. They not only want to
see her, but they want, il possible, to
learn what it is that makes her beauti-
full, hoping that they may catch the
secret. II Mrs. Langtry should an
nounce q lecture on "The Secret OF My
Beauty" no theatre 10 New York
could hold the crowd OF women who
would flock to hear her. Then, again,
it must be said that Mrs. Langtry has
O personality that charms-those who
like it-and the average public feel
that they are getting very near to
high life when they pay their dollar
and q half to see the Jersey Lily.
Doesn't she, or didn't she hobnob
with princes, with lords, and with
no, perhaps not with ladies, but never
mind. She acts upon their minds as
does a novel by May Agnes Fleming,
in which the manners and customs OF
the English aristocracy are painted
with all the freedom OF one who drew
entirely upon her Imagination. And
Mrs. Langtry is clever enough to act
in plays OF high life, where she can ap-
pear in beautiful gowns and sip tea
out OF dainty cups. Certainly she
does this well, and no one who has
seen her in "The Wife's Peril" (pro-
phetic namely as the presiding genius
OF an aristocratic breakfast table, can
ever forget the fidelity to life and the
delightful elegance OF that little scene.

A Strong Tinge of Romance:

The following was sent out by spe-
ciai from New York to the Western
papers: A remarkably peculiar story,
with more than an ordinary tinge OF
romance, came to light in this city
recently, when Cof:- Granger, q we'll.
known downtown business man, was
notified that he had been left $780,
900 by q former Cincinnatian. Mr..
Lemuel Stockbridge. Mr.. Stockbridge
was cotton speculator, and resided
in the Queen City when the late war
broke out. He had occasion to visit
Louisiana on q purchasing tour and
took his invalid wife with him. While in
the Red River district he was inclosed
by the Federal lines and found it i'm
possible to proceed. His wife grew
very i'll, and her husband in his frantic
efforts to cross the lines came in con-
tact with Mr.. Granger, who was at
that time an aide-de-camp on the staff
OF Gen. Ullman. Mr.. Granger took
pity on the Invalid wife and her hus-
band, and furnished them with pass
ports. Shortly afterward Granger
was promoted for gallant service and
obtained leave OF absence. Accom-
panied by his wife he took the steamer
at New Orleans, and was much sur
prised to find Mr.. and Mrs. Stock
bridge among his fellow passengers.
Old Friendships wefe renewed. While
passing through Louisiana the Con-
tederate sharp-shooters fired on the
steamer, and Mrs. Stockbridge again
became violently i'll. The Changers
were again friends in need, and when
the families parted at Cincinnati they
were steadfast friends. Strangely
enough, however, the Changers never
saw their strangely found acquaint-
ances again. Mr.. Stockbridge amassed
fortune OF 100000 and returned
to his birthplace Edinburgh, Scot
land-where he died in 1884. He
never forgot his benefactor, however,
and in his will bequeathed the sum OF
$50, 900 to Col. Granger. A firm OF
Scotch lawyers have, after year and
and hall, definitely identified Col.
Granger, and the money will be paid
in O short time.
